STALIN’S REPRESSIONS IN IVAN BAHRIANYI’S NOVEL “SAD HETSYMANSKYI” (“GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE”) AND IN AZERBAIJANI LITERATURE: TRUTH AND FICTION
Journal Title: Scientific Research - Year 2024, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract In this paper, one of the most famous Ukrainian novels about the Great Purge, “Sad Hetsymanskyi“ (“Garden of Gethsemane”) by Ivan Bahrianyi, is discussed from the perspective of the latest academic works, including the semiotic studies on reality and representation. The Ukrainian novel is compared to four works by Azerbaijani authors describing the Great Purge: a scholarly work by Ziya Bunyadov; Vidadi Babanli’s autobiography; a novel by Mehdi Hüseyn; and a play by Ilyas Afandiyev. The first two works belong to the category of nonfiction, while the last two works belong to fiction. Unlike the Azerbaijani authors, Bahrianyi chose to use literary discourse to tell the real story of his own imprisonment in 1938–1940, making his novel a mixture of fiction and nonfiction. A comparative review of Ivan Bahrianyi’s presentation of the Great Purge and the presentations of that historical period by the four Azerbaijani authors in light of the modern scholarship helps identify the differences in readers’ perception of these works as well as similarities in describing the Great Purge and the evil of the Soviet system.
